I have long neglected to answer the favour I received of you, but it was not because I did not appreciate your kind and affectionate letter.

You know how I am situated, not knowing today where I will be tomorrow. I am still blessed with health and the main comforts of life. None of the young men of our neighborhood have been met with any sad disaster[; they] are all enjoying fine health and spirits. I received a letter from Mother a few days ago[;] they are all in the enjoyment of health. I am glad to hear that they have good crops of wheat and corn. Mother said in her letter that she had been down to see you
